Can’t wait to see what happens (and who survives!!) next. Lots of action, some cute and sweet young love moments, and feeling like the walls are closing in on our heroes. The Mark of Athena is an American fantasy-adventure novel written by Rick Riordan, based on Greek and Roman mythology. There’s not really one I love over another (well besides Percabeth of course), but in general, everyone plays the best roll they can. I like the mix-up and getting different angles of the larger plot by following different characters. Yet again, having a full point-of-view cast is perfect for the story telling style. I shivered one too many times with those creepy crawlers running up and down walls. Well, except for if you have a major fear of spiders, watch out. I love that Annabeth got to really have a huge plot line! I’ve always adored her snarky and brave character and this was no exception. I think I like that the cast is a little bit older and many connections have been established that I’m now hooked onto their lives. This second series (following the Lightening Thief) has been more enjoyable for me. I love how fast I can listen to these books on audio and how wrapped up in the story I find myself. I’m still reeling over how things went down when this book ended. Narrated by four different demigods, The Mark of Athena is an unforgettable journey across land and sea to Rome, where important discoveries, surprising sacrifices, and unspeakable horrors await. What if he’s now attached to Roman ways? Does he still need his old friends? As the daughter of the goddess of war and wisdom, Annabeth knows she was born to be a leader-but never again does she want to be without Seaweed Brain by her side What more does Athena want from her?Īnnabeth’s biggest fear, though, is that Percy might have changed. Avenge me. Annabeth already feels weighed down by the prophecy that will send seven demigods on a quest to find-and close-the Doors of Death. In her pocket, Annabeth carries a gift from her mother that came with an unnerving command: Follow the Mark of Athena. Annabeth hopes that the sight of their praetor Jason on deck will reassure the Romans that the visitors from Camp Half-Blood are coming in peace.Īnd that’s only one of her worries. With its steaming bronze dragon figurehead, Leo’s fantastical creation doesn’t appear friendly. As Annabeth and her friends Jason, Piper, and Leo fly in on the Argo II, she can’t blame the Roman demigods for thinking the ship is a Greek weapon. Annabeth is terrified. Just when she’s about to be reunited with Percy-after six months of being apart, thanks to Hera-it looks like Camp Jupiter is preparing for war.
